Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a period of political turmoil in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, known as the Interregnum. This was a time of transition between the rule of the Ascanian dynasty and the House of Luxembourg, and the coinage of the period reflects the political instability of the time. The coin features the image of Waldemar, the last Ascanian margrave, on one side, and the Luxembourgian king, Louis IV, on the other. This coin is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this brief period of transition, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
